My favorite animes have been Bleach and Death Note. I'm still contemplating on starting Bleach again, as I haven't finished it entirely and I'm getting bored of TV shows. Anime has that spectacular note in it which makes you captivated more than anything else, and also usually has more interesting plots than anything else.
can we talk about pokemon? pokemon never gets enough credit because it went mainstream so hard, but who cares, that made my childhood like 5,000,000x better AT LEAST
Bleach was my favorite anime. And it was one of those anime which had real impact on the mind. And also it is one of those anime I miss. I think for that reason i'd choose it over any for many reasons.
For me Dragon Ball , one of the longest anime series there is. I have been watching it from the first episode. I have to admit that i'm still watching it up to this day. I never get enough of Goku, Gohan and the rest of the cast. Specially the epic fight with Cell.
I also like it to watch the whole series, but after having a filler list it's worth skipping some episodes of them.
